We`ll miss you, “Garbage man from hell!“
He had many interests including antiques and history, beautiful fast cars, and gardening. He loved getting his hands dirty and creating something wonderful. But his greatest passion was his family. Whether it was large gatherings or intimate one-to-one conversations, he cherished every moment. He loved having the kids running around, teaching something new, and teasing anyone who would listen.
We will always remember his booming voice, “My way is the right way!“
big bear hugs, grumpy, gruff and gentle heart.
A family gathering will be held at a later date.
